Massachusetts family history database is available only to members of the New England Historic Genealogy Society [ NEHGS] and enables you to search for family history information, including records for Massachusetts birth, death, and marriage records from 1841 to 1910.
When investigating your family history try wider sources and records such as divorce, medical, immigration adoptions, land title, school attendance, biography from local history books, wills and obituaries
Many local libraries and history societies have a family history section, files or resources dedicated to Family history and while many of these require membership it is a cost effective way of accessing multiple family history resources, without the cost mounting up.
The amount of information on birth certificates can vary significantly. In more recent years this could mean that there is both a short and long form. So if you can’t find the family history data that you are looking for it’s a good idea to try and find out if a long form certificate exists. Your local family history center or records office may be able to help you with family history and birth certificates advice.Certificates almost always show parents and sometimes other valuable information including where the parents were born, occupation and sometimes their address at the time the certificate was made.
